Apollo was a big fan of the truth, actually -- while it didn't always make life easier, it definitely made his job a lot simpler. After all, it wasn't like he was a trained detective. Everything he'd learned in school revolved around the cumbersome courtroom procedures and the countless laws, clauses and subclauses that came along along with them. Actually going out and getting his hands dirty was something else.
Maybe it went to show that book smarts and street smarts were entirely different things. Apollo had a feeling he was sorely lacking in the latter, but that didn't mean he couldn't learn.
He'd probably have to if he wanted to get by in Landel's. That wasn't exactly the most comforting thought, though, so he forced himself to focus on the matter at hand.
The somewhat nosy part of him was interested in hearing more about Hanekoma's background, but his more practical side was quick to remind him that this line of questioning wasn't necessarily relevant to their predicament. Pursuing the matter any further would not only be a waste of time, but it'd put them both in an even more awkward position.
Maybe some baggage was better off left undisturbed -- for now, anyway. That didn't mean he couldn't at least sort of keep an eye on the guy.
The abrupt change in subject was obvious, but at least Hanekoma openly admitted to it. Apollo sighed and flipped through the notes he'd been taking.
"Sort of," he admitted. "I've only been here a little more than 24 hours, so I've still got my work cut out for me. It sounds like there's a lot of history behind this place that spans even farther than anyone here can remember. If that's the case, I have a feeling that we won't be getting out of here even if the Head Doctor really is dead."
